Open-ended questions are some of the hardest to answer in an interview. It's important to train yourself how to talk about yourself. It may sound a little silly because you've been talking about yourself for years!

In an interview, you should leave out the highly personal stuff. There is no need to talk about your new puppy or your favorite foods. Keep it professional and concise. Interviews typically last for about thirty minutes to an hour, so keep that in mind as you prepare. Sometimes practicing with a friend or timing your response can help.

Focus on your interest or passion for the field, your education, and your accomplishments. Keep it relevant to the job at hand! Also, consider that there is plenty of time for you to talk about your skills and strengths during the interview, so you don't have to say it all in one gulp.
